~9:29 am Wed 14 Aug: Hague, ND. “The ZMM Route” (Rt 11), Goes Straight East Through The Center of Town, As Seen In /\ Above /\ Panorama Photo.

….Concerning their 1968 travel through here, the Narrator reports => “We stop for gas at Hague and ask if there is any way to get across the Missouri between Bismarck and Mobridge. The attendant doesn’t know of any. … All of us go in a shop for coffee and rolls.”
…. The “Hague Café’, is likely where The ZMM Narrator says “go in a shop for Coffee & Rolls. This, is, opposite side of highway from the Grocery Store,, as discussed below, => AND => Will Be Shown In The Following GSV Photo.))

….NOTE: The /\ Above /\ Panorama Photo Shows The SAME CAMERA PHOTOS (And SAME Physical Location), As Previous Hi Quality Panorama Photo, But “Stitched”. By Less Than Perfect Efforts of Henry Gurr, Using Available APP’s.

..AND the /\ Above /\ Photo Is Kept Here, So You may “See The Difference”.
….Which as you can see in the /\ Above /\ Panorama Stitched by AutoStitch, the Photographic Quality is acceptable, but there are distracting brightness variations. And AutoStitch failed to include 1 of the 7 photos supplied, and the automatically created “Opening “View”, is in the a wrong & ugly direction This failures are ultimately caused by Henry Gurr’s inadequate Panorama Photographing Technique. The Previous Panorama Photo Stitched & Edit Improved by FlatWorld.com is Far Better.

….When HSG was here Summer 02, the gas station that the Narrator reported, was no longer evident, but the Hague Café’s Old Red Brick Building, Was Good As Ever! And likewise, when HSG came thru Aug 2019.
